It
was a really weird week, to say the least. And sorry ahead of time if there are
misspellings in this, I got a crazy keyboard again.
Anyway,
Easter afternoon was fun. After we emailed last week, we bought pizza and took
it to the park, and ate it in the poo covered grass. Not exactly an Orem park,
but not too bad.
After, we went out to this giant memorial statue in the middle
of the lake. It's a memorial for all the Malagasies who died fighting for the
French, I guess. TONS of people were swarming it for the holiday.
Anyway,
Bates and I found a secret passageway that went inside the statue. It smelled
like death on the inside, but we found a ladder that went up this little chute
up to the top of the inside of the statue. We had some Gasy homies climb it
with us, we looked like we had been working in a coal mine all day when we
finished. So dirty.
Luckily,
we are white, which is usually a downside here, but security didn't stop us from
walking into the nice hotel to wash off in the bathroom. Sick afternoon.
On
Tuesday I went on splits with Elder Seifert, a guy from Provo. I stayed in
their place in Ampitatafika, Mitchell's area. But I worked in Itaosy. I got to
spend the night at Mitchell's though, it was way fun. On splits? I ran into a
little kid with no leg, not too weird, but he chased me down and started
kicking me in the shins with his plastic leg, stinking hurt.
Back
in my area, I was visiting the family from Toliary, and they said that Worthen
told them that I died, and that's why I was gone on Tuesday. They told me that
they were all crying and didn't eat that night, haha I was laughing so hard when
they told me. They believe it so easily. I was on splits with Mitchell on
Thursday, and I told a family that Worthen died, and they got so sad. When he
got back, we told them he got resurrected and they were so amazed. It's too easy
to trick people here... dont worry, they eventually find out that we are
kidding.
Oh,
and now mine and Worthen's voices are going to be sounding in English classes
all over now. This girl who teaches English recorded us reading this horribly
written English script for all the people she teaches so they can practice our
accents haha.
Lastly..
we got to make a fun late night hospital trip the other day. Smith split his
lip pretty much in half, so we all went to the hospital, didn't get home til way
late. He is fine now, plus Bates and I got to watch an hour and a half of WWE
while we waited. The Rock won.
Conference will be in English. Saturday sessions in English, then Sunday in Malagasy at the church. Only outside of Tana (the Capital) is it always in Malagasy only. But we will get to see it in a few weeks.
Anyway,
that's all for now. Love you, thanks for everything.
